I don't think that there would be a different off-set between the RWD and the 4Matic models.

The confusion was around whether the front-rear tyres were in a staggered step. And yes, the front are 225 and rear are 245 for both the RWD and 4Matic Sport models.

I have my car for less than a mth and already slapped on 2000Km on it already. I'm doing alot of hwy driving, commute from Oakville to Toronto for work and Markham to visit family.

So far holding up well in the winter, put on some blizzaks, very quite ride even with winter tires on them.

Starting to see more C300/350's on the road now, compared to last mth.

Spotted a C350 4Matic going southbound on Allen Rd, during left to Eglinton eastbound, last night at 8:45pm. Calcite white. No premium package. Being driven by an Asian female.

I see plenty of W204 4matics prowling the streets of GTA. Actually probably more than half I've seen recently are 4matics.

Feel free to say hi @ MBFanatics.org sometime!

I have had many MB sedans and SUV's and once in a while I hit a jack pot and I have a car that is perfectly suited for my driving and the new C350 Sport 4 Matic is just one of those cars.

For winter driving in Canada and looking at the loaded option list, it's more like a small S-Class than an entry luxury sedan.

I think MB Canada made a very wise decision, loading up the car with options and keeping the price the same makes for a great value in my book.

Another point is that MB had no mechanical problems when they introduced the brand new S-Class and again, talking to the service department, they have no problems with the C-Class.

It's a great car and it deserved to win the AJAX Award for best 2008 car. Can they improve that car? Yes, a little more wood than plastic on the dash area, folding down rear seat head rests, ventilation outlets in the B pillar, a solid cover under the panorama roof rather than the see through, just to
name a few.

Does your plate ends in 267? If so I saw your car in the dealer ready for delivery and once on Brittania.

Not mine

My Black 350 should be here first week of Feb, its getting built right now and roughly 30 days for delivery, Can't wait.

This is going to be my first european car and also my first brand new car, I have owned a bunch of late model modified japanese cars but nothing close to brand new.

I am in the Richmand Hill/Vaughan area and I probably seen a couple of you already driving up and down hwy 7.

Hopefully this summer we can get a couple meets together, I have also been checking out mbfanatics.org and it looks like a nice local mb club.

I also saw a C350 4Matic Calcite White car driving sounthbound on the Allen ... but it was around 8:30am.

-----------------------

not sure what dealership you order from.
I order C300 in July 2007 and got mine on Nov 29 2007. 4 months wait is not bad. I change to snow tires -Pirelli Sotto Zeros 225/445/17 and it run great in the snow. Just came back from Finger lake New York for vacation and run great on highway too.

sou98

that pretty good discount... for my C300 RWD with sport package I got CAN$2,300 discount and he get me free AMG Polo Shirt and free tires and rim insurance package (not sure if this is worth it or not).
that Tires and Rim will protect for 4 yrs on any scratch or tires damage and replaced free of charge (incl my winter tires)

I got this frm Markham MB - hwy 407 and Kennedy

peabers

I contemplated getting the rim/tyre insurance when they told me how much those AMG rims are. If my car was leased, I would certainly consider it harder. If it was free, I would certainly take advantage of it. :

Hi guys,

I'm glad I found this post. I've been reading through this forum and trying to find out how much folks are saving in Canada. Man, it looks like the US folks are getting some really good deals. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that Canadians are getting that good of a deal.

I've been visiting a few dealers in the GTA and just trying to get a sense of the deals I can get. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like much. These must be selling like hot cakes.

I'm looking at the C350 4matic, with the premium package and metallic paint. I think the MSRP is $55.5K. I'm looking to lease the car for 36 months. Some have offered $500 or $1000 cash back. That seems to be the norm. I have heard that one dealer is offering to waive the "freight and PDI" charge of $1895. So I guess that would be a savings of $1900 that would be paid upon pickup of the vehicle.

Is this the best that can be had right now?

I see that Vcruiser scored a wicked deal of $3500, but that seems to be an exception due to his family hookup. Sou98 also looked to get a good deal with $2300 discount, plus some freebies thrown in.

Thoughts?

marakbai

looks pretty good ...which rims are those?

Gotti78

I got zero discount from Mb in Maple, and no free features. If my car was'nt almost here I would go to a diff dealership.

Juicy

Thanks for the info. So not only are Canadians already paying more for cars than our friends to the south, but we don't even get a discount. I was reading another thread about some of the deals our American neighbours were getting and once you factor that in, it looks like the price discrepancy is even greater.

Where is Mr. Flaherty? heh heh.

Gotti78

Bump, this is a good thread for canadians.

Gotti78

Got the call, should only be another couple days.
The car is on rail now and should be here in 4-6 days, anyone else have a car coming in on this shippment?

08 C350 Black on Black MM/Nav

Juicy

I hope so.

If you see one in Iridium Silver then it should be mine. Make sure you hold it there for me and give me a ring.

Gotti78

Not even excited now, more pissed off.
When i ordered my car sooo long ago in Sept they said there could be no discounts on this car and I paid 100% MSRP.

Now been hearing so many people getting 1000.00-2500 off msrp

Last night a friend called me to tell me he ordered the same car and got 2500 off @ mb on yonge and steeles.

If they dont match it I am not picking up the car, but they dont care because there is a long line of people willing to take my car.

What should I do??

Juicy

Are you sure folks are getting that much of a discount? Especially in Canada! I believe most folks are paying MSRP or very close to it. Those getting deals are those that purchased early, or had friends that owned dealerships or worked a deal through friends, or what not. At least, that was my impression.

I know what you mean though. They know how in demand this car is, and if you don't want to pick it up, they can sell it to someone else. They probably know how bad you want it anyway.

blastit

Gotti that is the million dollar question. MB is funny that way. for sure they know that they have a hot product and if you dont want it someone else will. my suggestion is just take the car and enjoy it. are you financing or leasing or did you buy it right out. if you are financing or leasing the difference in terms of payment would not be anything you would notice. so why miss out on a great ride due to that. i hear where you are coming from and yes it does suck that you could not get any money off the msrp.

peabers

Tough call... the question is do you really want the car. The B8 is coming out soon so MB will get some competition. But I don't think the dealers are worried at this point in time. You walk, there will be five other people waving their chequebooks for the car.

Bottom line is that there will always be someone who paid less for their car. To me, it's a good car and worth every penny I paid.

marakbai

ditto there peabers, I know I'm paying more than some guys, but mad is this car ever worth it ... handles well, drives well, performs like a dream, and it's a Benz!
